Frontlines is ruined by exploits, SE need to fix it

[Xisin]

Nope, you adjust tactic. You'll probably have a blm to scythe, or a pld to spam RoH. That's two more healers interrupted. Just to name something you know, I'm sure you can think of more.

It just amazes me how people want to just go in and win whithout any challenge. Even worse, got this guy in my alliance complaining how he can never heal, but then he didn't know he could use PvP abilities <-- Do you guys realize how many people have no clue regarding PvP, shocking!

except that most healer abilities cast in under 2 seconds or are instant, even without spellspeed stacking, if i go completely spell speed in every slot on blm my GCD sits at 2,29 my whm friend who does not spell speed stack cast at around 1.87. So 1 for 1 does not result in interrupts, esuna being super fast + purify being castable on other targets makes this worse (dps can un stun lock that healer.)

The legendary healer brigades lay the smack down on dps by healing and not attacking lol
Priceless!
How does 8 blm flare spamming a group of camping healers fair?
I mean have you ever considered that?

Healers have an aoe pvp ability that reduces all magic damage by 40% + protect (the whm variation) couple this with the fact that we're stuck in i80 gear and its not really a whole lots of damage. The best way to take down a healer is phantom dart -> fire > firestarter swiftcast flare. without swift flare is a very large casting time that coincidentally can be interrupted by ruin 2 or aero. and btw they do actually attack, the difference is they can usually take their time with it cause most dps cant actually heal. schs have their 3 dots + bane and ruin. Whm have holy, aero and stone.

Sorry but my eyes bled just reading your bs. Play as healer and you will understand, even 1 second cast spells won't be able to come out, unless again, you ignore healers and let them heal spam everyone.

This is obv not an exploit, but everyone that is arguing against it, I guess have not seen the splendor and/or horror that it is. Its totally OP.
I had a six healer group yesterday, ain't no mofo was killing me.

Okay so lets do some math. Most people have about 70-90 ms ping (i have 50 ms due to my relative closeness to the server location), this translates into about a .07 server delay, dont forget that spell cast in this game tend to go off about .3 seconds faster than listed. So its safe to say healers need about 1.5 seconds (read cure and physick not regen lustrate adlo etc. which most of which are faster or instant) in order to get a cast off, with how pillaring works in sharp corners in frontlines then if you make a quick turn + cast it will almost always go off. The dumbest statement are those people who claim that 1 person is enough to lock down a healer which is what i was refuting. a scathing blm will not interrupt a healer anymore more than once if the healer plays it correctly ... if that were the case no one would play them. Hell, one person isnt even enough to shut down a blm - let alone a healer.

This is nothing new though, those that have power usually want to protect it, it's only human.

Especially in a PvP setting where one is the dominant class, they are in a state of denial. Their strengths are glaringly obvious and they far outweighs their cons yet they are trying to tell us that they are actually not having it easy because they can be interrupted, like they are the only one that can be CC'ed while ignoring the plethora of abilities at their disposal to help them out.

I played multiple times as a healer in Frontlines and it's not even 10% as hard to land a heal as you're making it out to be. If you are having difficulty, then that's an entire different issue that's usually solved by getting better.

Mark one and focus. Easy.

[Zephyranthes]

It's just that heals in PvP are too big compared the the amount of damage a player can dish out. You can heal a person in 2 actions but kill them in 10+.

That's cute. Doesn't matter if you're the proest healer in the world if 1 attack will just interupt every spell and they can do it while moving. I'm glad you were lucky enough to not being focused the whole frontline.

Issues = Stacking of healers in Frontlines
Possible solution = Focusing one healer
Focusing one healer = other healers being free to do as they wish
Free healers = heals the healer being focused.

Solution deemed a failure. Try again.

I'm pretty sure a pure healer team could not capture further bases and could not get any of the score from the monster spawns in the centre. They ONLY thing this team composition would accomplish is holding a position.

The counter to this setup btw would be to try and sleep some of them (a few will use their CC removal) and then split your physical dps so you have one on each active healer. They will all be interrupted endlessly and unable to cast a single heal. This is called metagaming and an 'unbeatable' team composition is always beaten by experimenting to find a new team composition to counter them. In this case a team comprised of mostly physical DPS is the solution.

There is nothing wrong here. People are just too lazy to actually change their team composition to counter the healer stacking one.
